Slovakia’s ZSE Group has signed a gas sales agreement with PGNiG Supply&Trading, part of Poland’s Orlen Group, to secure the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) originating mainly from the United States (U.S.) in a bid to diversify supplies and shore up the security of gas deliveries for its customers.

Under the terms of the agreement, LNG originating from the United States is set to arrive at Lithuania’s Klaipeda LNG terminal , after which it will be sent to the Polish gas system via the Poland-Lithuania gas pipeline so that it can be delivered to Slovakia via the Vyrava interconnector.
